The Downtown Investment Authority on Wednesday signed off on a $25,000 grant for One Spark.

The money will come from the board's events and marketing budget, which is $35,000. That budget falls under the board's administrative budget, which is already approved by City Council and will not require additional approval.

No representatives from One Spark were present for the item.

The DIA grant will fund One Spark operations, like staging and Wi-Fi. In exchange, the DIA is a "safety and security sponsor" of the festival, CEO Aundra Wallace said.
